I was almost late for my dermatology follow up last Thursday because I kept
stopping en route to take pictures. I went down Scott Street on the way to
Mt. Zion on Divisadero and, afterwards, I drove home via Castro Street. I
got quite a few shots for several week's worth of "Sunday in My City."

My dream was always to own one but, as a single parent, without child support, it just couldn't happen!

There is such a business in the painting of these incredible Victorians!

I fell in love with San Francisco when I was 18 and had a very long layover enroute from New Orleans to Honolulu. I told myself then that I was going to live here...and, at 33, it became a reality. I'm now 66 and I've never tired of the city - though I've visited 45 countries, I still love this best ( though I could easily live six months in some of those other places!

I think we have enough Victorians here to keep us in photographic material until we can't hold a camera anymore!
Laurie Matherne -
I have many more Victorian photograph so stay tuned!

Aren't these Victorians lovely? I always think of your Queen Victoria when I see them!! We owe you Brits a lot.

The acacias have lost all their blooms, sadly, in our two weeks of torrential rains. We hardly have any blooms of any kind since the downpours - we've had lots of trees falling and rockslides, though.

I have a never ending supply of photos of San Francisco's "Painted Ladies" - I took about forty on that expedition alone!

I wish I lived in an area with those gorgeous Victorians...not me. I am in suburbia but I do spend a lot of time in the city, admiring the Victorians - and dreaming!
Sharkbytes -
I console myself that I couldn't climb the stairs very easily in my old age and that these Victorians must cost a fortune to heat! I do love them, though.

I am so glad you have enjoyed this edition of my Painted Ladies. I have many more.

I am waiting to show you around the city but, as I said, don't take to long. I AM 66. I'll have to drop you at the bottom of the hills and meet you at the top! I do love showing people around this city, though.
secret agent woman -
It is a really beautiful city with stunning views.

Don't we live in a special place? I am so glad I have such a good collection of photographs.
